The JPS-COHD-PLAAS-YARA-FAC Writeshop aims to improve young researchers’ strategic knowledge about and practical skills on matters related to international journal publication and impact (including choosing journals; building ideas about and framing/writing journal manuscripts, and overall preparation and submission of journal manuscripts; dealing with peer review reports, and so on). It will include sessions on key debates and literature in critical agrarian studies, and concepts in and practice of scholar-activism. The 7-day Writeshop-Workshop will include peer review discussions on participants’ draft journal manuscripts. After the workshop, participants will be in a better position to frame their work in relation to critical agrarian studies and to think about international journal publications in the long-term, and finalise journal manuscripts in the short term. They will also benefit from being part of an emerging community of young researchers working in critical agrarian studies from a scholar-activist tradition. Several participants would be be invited to submit manuscripts to JPS, and encouraged to submit to other major international journals. We are looking at a maximum of 30-40 workshop participants. We will provide full fellowships (travel and accommodation financial support) for up to 20 researchers. We also encourage externally funded participants. Successful applicants must circulate a draft manuscript (based on their accepted abstract) of 8,000-10,000 words in advance of the Writeshop-Workshop. For applications, please submit the following in one Word file: (1) An abstract of 500 words, related to critical agrarian studies (see JPS aims and scope<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=aimsScope&journalCode=fjps20__;!!HXCxUKc!h5XDtnEGEOzyzZ6Wtrvcpd65B4ecRgfNxjQesBHv1H68DU9pp-Uzq_CthAO8Rl0$>) (2) A short bio of 250 words (3) Names and contact information of 2 academic references Please send your application to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Deadline: 1 March 2020 Application results to be announced on 15 March 2020.
